Subwoofer Filter Circuit 50..200Hz

The subwoofer filter, or low-pass filter, is designed to suppress high frequencies that shouldn’t be fed into the audio amplifier’s input and then into the low-frequency head (woofer, subwoofer). The subwoofer filter has a cutoff frequency. A signal input to the filter with a frequency greater than the cutoff frequency will be attenuated. These signals are not found at the output of the Filter.

In addition, the subwoofer filter circuit has phase angle adjustment. The filter itself (like other low-pass filters) shifts the signal by a certain angle, so if you turn on the subwoofer and additional acoustics (bypassing the filter), the signals at the outputs will differ by a certain angle.

Key Specifications of Subwoofer Filter

Subwoofer active filter material list

U1,U2 – TL072, TL082, NE5532
R1-R4 – 47 … 51 kOhm
R5, R6, R9 – 270 kOhm
R7, R8 – 220 Ohm
R10, R12, R13 – 10 kOhm
R11 – 12..13 kOhm
RV1 – 30-50 kOhm (6 st.)
RV2 – 10 kOhm (3 mono)
C1,C2,C6 – 0.047uF (film)
C3,C4 – 0.022 uF (film)
C5,C7 – 0.01uF (film)
C8 – 0.001uF (film)
C9,C10 – 0.1uF (ceramik)
C11-C14 – 22uF 16V.

All resistors are 0.25W

The U1.1 and U1.2 elements have a collector that optimizes the operation of the low-pass filter when a stereo signal is applied to its input. Adjustment of the phase shift angle is performed with the subwoofer filter, the over-ear speaker system turned on. If a two-channel oscilloscope and a generator are available, more precise settings can be made using these.
